Answer 1

The simplest way to disable a link (and render it like normal text) without using jQuery is to remove it's href attribute entirely.

For example here is the rendered link:

Click me

And the required JavaScript:

function disableLink(id) {
   document.all[id].removeAttribute('href');
}       

This works for me in both IE and Firefox, but you may wish to do some more extensive testing.
